Mastering the art of gelato is not just about learning how to make it, although that's a huge chunk of it. You also have to run a successful gelateria, or "gelato shop."

Around 18 months after he graduated from Gelato University, Kelerstein was just about ready to open his shop.

"Just as I was ready to open, I contacted Carpigiani," Kelerstein said. "You can hire the instructors at the university to come abroad, come on-site and give a consultation. So that's what I did. I worked with my former professor for two weeks before I opened shop."
